Message from North Berwick Skiffies

February 8, 2010

“Skifftastic stuff Lesley,
Good to hear from you.
We are progressing well with the building at NB, but falling behind on the curry front, which is something that we need to catch up with shortly. We have about 20 folk building so far. We have organised into three shifts, each with a foreman to co-ordinate, so that everyone gets to do some useful stuff while they are there. My first shift, we got to the shed the long way round (to avoid a steep hill) through a blizzard, only to have the power go down as soon as we got there. Other than that however we are doing well, and have something that is starting to look boat shaped.
Best of luck with your building, and we look forward to seeing you at Anstruther or Portsoy. Cheers.”

Nice of them to message us back. I sent them our best wishes and good luck for their build. As far as I can gather they are making two, possibly three skiffs.
